Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), reinforced with different contents of silica (with or without modification using silane coupling agents), was prepared by a modified sol-gel method involving hydrolyzation of tetraethoxysilane over an acid catalyst. The structures of the as-prepared samples were characterized using various techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The mechanical properties of the as-prepared samples were discussed in detail. The results revealed an increasing of the storage modulus (G') with increase in the silica content without modification. In contrast, G' decreased after modification using silane coupling agents, indicating a reduction in the silica-silica interaction and improved dispersion of silica in the SBR matrix. Both tensile stress and hardness increased with increase in the silica content (with modification) in the SBR matrix, albeit with low values compared to the samples with un-modified silica, except for the case of silica modified using (3-glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GPTS). The latter observation can be attributed to the special structure of GPTS and the effort of oxygen atom lone-pair.

Design is an iterative, generative, and multidisciplinary process by its nature. Iteration is frequent in most of the engineering design and development projects including construction. Design iterations cause rework, and extra efforts are required to get the optimal sequence and to manage the projects. Contrary to simple design, isolation of the generative iterations in complex design systems is very difficult, but reduction in overall iterations is possible. Design depends upon the information flow within domain and also among various design disciplines and organizations. Therefore, it is suggested that managers should be aware about the crucial iterations causing rework and optimal sequence as well. In this way, managers can handle design parameters related to such iterations proactively. Numbers of techniques are available to reduce iterations for various kinds of engineering designs. In this paper, parameter based Design Structure Matrix (DSM) is chosen. To create this DSM, a survey was performed and then partitioned using a model. This paper provides an easy approach to those companies involved in or intend to be involved in "design and build projects."

데이터 마이닝 분류 문제에서 발생하는 데이터 불균형 문제는 한 범주에 속한 데이터의 수가 다른 범주에 속한 데이터의 수보다 극히 많거나 작은 경우를 말한다. 이러한 불균형 문제를 해결하기 위해 표본추출과 오분류 비용에 근거한 여러 가지 기법들이 제시되었으며, 이들 간의 성능 비교에 대한 연구들도 이루어졌다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제시된 불균형 문제 해소기법들의 조합적 활용에 대한 타당성에 대해 살펴보고 유전자 알고리즘을 통해 그 결합 비율을 결정하여 더 좋은 성과를 낼 수 있는지에 대해 살펴보도록 한다. 소수 범주에 대한 정확성을 높이기 위해 소수 범주에 대한 F-value에 기초하여 기법들의 결합비율을 결정하고 기존 단일 기법들의 성과와 임의의 비율에 의한 격자표 형태의 결합 성과를 비교하여 결합적 활용의 타당성을 살펴본다. 이를 실증적으로 검토하기 위해서, 일반적으로 데이터 불균형 문제를 해결하기 위해 많이 사용되는 4개의 공개 데이터 집합을 이용하여 타당성 분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과, 전체적으로 단일 기법들의 결합적 활용이 데이터 불균형 해소에 유용한 것으로 나타났다.

이 논문에서는 곱셈기를 사용하지 않고 덧셈기 만을 사용하여 DCT를 효과적으로 수행하는 저전력 구조를 제안하였다. 고속처리가 가능하면서도 구현 하드웨어의 크기를 최소화하기 위하여 8-point DCT를 4 cycle에 수행하는 구조를 사용하였다. 즉, 첫 번째 cycle에서 사용한 계수용 하드웨어를 두 번째부터 네 번째까지의 계산에서도 공통으로 사용할 수 있는 구조를 채택하였다. 덧셈기 만을 사용하는 기존의 구조들은 CSD(Canonic signed digit)형의 계수를 사용하여 덧셈의 수를 줄이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Common subexpression sharing 방식을 채용함으로서 하드웨어를 더욱 감소시킬 수 있는 구조를 제안하였다. 그 결과 8-point DCT의 경우에 CSD 만을 사용한 구조와 비교하여 19.5%의 덧셈 수 감소 효과를 달성하였다.

Superconducting tape is being developed for electrical equipment such as superconducting transformers and generators. AC loss reduction is primary concern in the development of such high-efficiency equipment. AC losses in Bi-2223 silver-sheathed tapes, both single and multi-filamentary, were investigated by means of AC magnetization techniques. The results were compared with the hysteresis loss equation based on Bean model and the eddy current loss equation. The AC loss, of the mono-filamentary tape was the hysteresis. On the contrary, the AC loss of the multi-filamentary tape was substantially dominated by the eddy current loss in the Ag matrix.

Purpose: This paper presents graphic methods and desirability function approach to determine best vibration reducing configuration for Surion helicopter. Many flight tests were executed and nine vibration levels in cockpit, cabin, and engine room were measured in each test and analyzed to find optimal configuration. Methods: Graphic analysis methods such as matrix, scatter, and box plots are used to identify better vibration-reducing flight test conditions. As an integrated measure of the performance of 9 vibration levels desirability function approach is adopted. Results: Three vibration reducing configurations are found to be proper and one configuration is recommended. Conclusion: It is expected to be helpful to adopt graphic and desirability function methods presented in this paper in developing new products or systems like helicopters. For efficient and effective flight testing of helicopters, it will be necessary to have consistently homogeneous environment for flight testing and applying design of experiments techniques and analyzing test data.

Variation is the archenemy of quality. To reduce or control the variation in a complex production unit, firstly we need to identify the location of the root cause of the variation. This paper discusses the detection of variability and the techniques used for reduction of variation for a production unit consisting of many processes. In the first part of this paper, the background of variability detection in production systems is introduced which is then followed by a weighted network corresponding to correlation matrix of all processes. Based on the network and clustering criterion of maximum spanning tree, a classification of all processes is derived. Furthermore, the variation of each process in a class is determined by residual analysis. In the last part, the use of methods of robust design for the processes with a larger variability is discussed.

Superconducting tape is being developed for electrical equipment such as superconducting transformers and generators etc. AC loss reduction is primary concerned in the development of such high-efficiency equipment. AC losses in Bi-2223 silver-sheathed tapes, both single and multi-filamentary, were investigated by means of AC magnetization techniques when longitudinal fields are applied. The experiment resultswere compared with the hysteresis loss equation based on Bean model and the eddy current loss equation. The AC loss of the mono-filamentary tape was dominated by the hysteresis. On the contrary, the AC loss of the multi-filamentary tape was substantially dominated by the eddy current loss in the silver matrix.

This paper explores new techniques that are based on a hidden-layer linear transformation for fast speaker adaptation used in deep neural networks (DNNs). Conventional methods using affine transformations are ineffective because they require a relatively large number of parameters to perform. Meanwhile, methods that employ singular-value decomposition (SVD) are utilized because they are effective at reducing adaptive parameters. However, a matrix decomposition is computationally expensive when using online services. We propose the use of an extended diagonal linear transformation method to minimize adaptation parameters without SVD to increase the performance level for tasks that require smaller degrees of adaptation. In Korean large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) tasks, the proposed method shows significant improvements with error-reduction rates of 8.4% and 17.1% in five and 50 conversational sentence adaptations, respectively. Compared with the adaptation methods using SVD, there is an increased recognition performance with fewer parameters.

다양한 종류의 잡음에 의해서 발생하는 음성인식 성능 저하를 보상하기 위해서는 잡음제거가 필수적이다. 마이크로폰 배열을 이용하는 많은 잡음제거 기술 중에서, GSC는 비정상성 잡음을 제거하기 위해서 널리 적용되어 왔다. GSC의 성능은 AMC에 의해서 직접적인 영향을 받는다. 즉, 정확한 목표 음성 신호의 검출은 순수 잡음구간에서의 충분한 잡음제거 및 목표 음성구간에서의 적은 왜곡을 보장하기 위해서 필수적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 고정 빔포밍의 출력과 차단 매트릭스의 출력간의 전력비가 주파수 밴드 단위로 계산되는 향상된 AMC 설계법을 제안한다. 그 후, 밴드별 전력비는 가우시안 혼합에 의해서 각 클래스가 확률적으로 모델링 된다. 실험결과, 제안한 알고리즘이 ROC 및 출력 SNR 관점에서 더 높은 성능을 보였다.
